Recommended Posts

I need my band and plication revised to Gastric bypass. I am self pay, do you recommend anyone in So California?

Currently my surgeon is way expensive for a revision, so I'm trying to find a new doctor.

I'm in SoCal and actually discussed a band/plication revision to a bypass with my surgeon today. My doctor is Helmuth Billy in Ventura. He is great! I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet, but after close to 4 years, I'm having horrible reflux issues and I've gained back close to 30 of the 70 pounds I lost.

I don't know what he charges for self pay, but I can tell you that he's a great surgeon. Here is the link to his website http://www.drbillybariatrics.com

Good luck!

Will you be self pay? Or insurance is going to cover you?

Hopefully insurance will cover it. My doctor seems to think so, but I haven't gone through the process. If insurance doesn't cover it, I'm not having it. That is a cost/debt I won't take on at this point.
